Absurdly Cheap vs Expensive FPV Controllers 

I appreciate you posting

combined usb for charging and other stuff is worse than having them separate - I need to charge the controller on long range rc plane flights (mid flight) while also forwarding telemetry via usb..

Imo you should get better quality goggles than the vr03

@@alexwolfe957 I don't know what else that is available (there are two different antenna options for the ev800d and i don't understand it so I chose the simpler option

@@alexwolfe957 I just looked at the skyzone cobra lite is it better?

I upgraded my Boxer to a Boxer Max in part due to this review. The AG01 gimbals are really nice and the rest of the bling really dress it up too. Not required obviously, but it's a pretty nice upgrade.

The firmware is different, you can program the switches and buttons, better gimbals(in most cases)

​@@cokitos-py3bdFutaba and TX16S ones are not designed only for FPV. Those are just regular RC aircraft controllers that works for FPV drones.

@@jeb123 Yea, and because of that you can build your own projects unlike regular drone controllers

Is ethos open source? Or closed any idea on how the features and lua functionality compares

@@ironoidfpv It's close source and lua scrip is availble depend. If you're a engineer and there is a lua scrip you want to develop because there no lua script availble you can. For example there is lua scrip for Expresslrs. :)

You can pretty much fly wherever you want as long as you're not close to public (buzzing heads). And under 120m. Nothing's very regulated over here.

It's the same for me! Can't recommend it enough. The only slight disadvantage was using the button for arming, since disarming took longer initially, but by inverting the button you can disarm just as fast as with a switch.

Sure! Sounds good ✌️

Tinyhawk 3 hdzero kit or tinyhawk 2 analog if u want something cheap

@@BrodieReed can you do it with multiple options per price class to chose from?

good radio, same as pocket, same TX, same connections, many people like and use, a little more expensive than pocket

It is very good and comfortable, the only drawback is the low-capacity battery. This can be changed by converting Zorro to 18650 batteries, but it's a bit troublesome. Personally, I like this controller and I also have a Pocket, Boxer and previously a Tx16

Futaba been around since the 1960 for software they never used opensource to make close source but how ever I think Ethos used opentx and edgetx codes.

It's not open source so it's junk. And Futaba have better quality for their radio vs spektrum. Again Spektrum junk. A Tx16s does much more then Spektrum high end junk. Better yet even Frsky x20 pro can do more then Spektrum.

@@rcrotorfreak Lmao you really dont know to much

​​@@Viseo3dpSerious? I been flying since the 1980s before you been born. I'm also a software developer. I programs features to edgetx since we are about to add coding. I'm a software developer. I'm also a it. Btw i use to fly Spektrum. Sit down kid. Edgetx firmware is open source and it's more advance then Spektrum. Firmware have no limit. You are the limit. Spektrum have limit you want more feature you have to upgrade. Kiddo sit down listen to Daddy Kane.

@@rcrotorfreak Kid, Buddy i am 60 years old so when you make shit up before you were born find the facts out first also i have been fly planes and helicopters since the 80's with gas engines and Specktrum was one of the first radio's around back then its was called park flying Horizon Hobby has been around sense 1985 and you have had nothing to do with edgetx development if you did you would not try to brag about it so nice try oh yeah im a aerospace engineer Lmao nice try be truthful you don't like specktrum because you cant afford it that's okay don't be ashamed minimum wage is not a bad thing its okay.

​@@Viseo3dp no spektrum came out early 2000 infact when Futaba came out with fasst protocol the first 2.4ghz it was early 2000 before Spektrum. Look argue but when firmware is locked it's not appealing. All these new technology are putting Spektrum in the dust. Look at TD and twin. Also access. Ever looked at Frsky? Does spectrum have dual band Rx six channel for $40 bucks? Yes 2.4ghz plus 900 mhz. You haven't explore it. All these open source even Frsky that isn't open source is more advance then Spektrum. You paying a limited device. Cost them so little to make but charging you a Apple tag.

It depends from person to person, you can call it a controller

RC stands for remote controlled / Radio Controlled The way a controller talks to the drone doesn’t matter it’s still an RC Drone

You call it Soda or pop? Trunk or Boot? You see where I’m going with this?

@@ReRunTyson I guess you’re the kind of person that uses a transmitter with his xbox. See where I’m going with this

You should be sorry for being that guy. Lol
